Disassemble

Apktool can help disassemble resources to nearly original form.

Assemble

Want to translate an app? Change a permission? Apktool can help you do that.

Analyze

Not interested in rebuilding? Just attach -m to any disassemble command. Apktool will do its best to rip apart the resources and manifest for easy inspection.
